An airline magazine article featured 5 quiet green spots in the city. Fortunately, the article did not include the secret garden in San Angel, so it can stay a bit of a secret. Over time, I've visited 4 of them. A pretty one is Plaza Gomez Feria, situated in a village neighborhood, whose street names refer to well-known painters. You'd never know you were in 25Mil Mexico City.
Next door is the Mixcoac quarter, which features a handsome church, which I failed to find. To compensate, I came across one of the many verdant courtyards behind high walls, in which some D.F. people are privileged to live. Wouldn't I like to have that key ...
A recurring pleasure in this city is to discover architectural details - of just about any period in the 19th and 20th century -which make you marvel, or smile. How about this 70's (?) letter box-cum-apartment bell/intercom system? So often, my eyes catch some such little treasure, but I don't capture it on camera.
